In the following Obituary several places are mentioned, Piney Ridge Church, and "Woodie cemetery on highway 18 near "The Jumping off place." Right there at the Ashe/Wilkes line." I must say that I am not at all familiar with these places, even though I was born and lived in Cherokee Co, NC. What I want to know is; how close to the Peak area is Piney Ridge Church? Lastly, what does the TWP stand for in "Peak Creek TWP" Thanks, Caroline Obituary for Columbus C. Woodie Columbus C. Woodie, died on September 26, 1949.
